They are cute tin boxes that feature a little quilt made with a current MODA fabric line. There are 12 total…Mine is number 7! Lucky no. Seven…that’s ME…Lucky to be able to share my love of fabric with my MODA fabric lines!!!! Each tin has fabric to make a little quilt. Moda…has put together this project, its packaging and they are just so cute…I love to collect tins…to store all kinds of quilty goodies in…

So this tin features my current fabric line called Songbird Gatherings and here is the little quilt that this little bundle makes! It is 28″x 28″, a nice size. You also get some kind of treat…like the cracker jack prize! This one contains a little sheath for your scissors…with MODA on it!!! Someone also said some pretty nice things about Lisa Bongean in this pretty box…made me choke up a bit!!!Oh..one more thing…each of the Frivols tins come with a block pattern and our selvage quote on it too! How fun is it to collect selvages with quotes on them!!! This quote is one of my favorites and how fitting for Songbird Gatherings!…if you collect all 12 tins you will have a little sampler quilt too…here are some of the blocks from the previous six tins. If after reading this post if you MUST have one of these limited edition tins…you can get yours HEREI also want to let you know about who’s tin is who’s

As long as I have your attention… I’m going to show you the fabrics in the Songbird Gatherings collection or range, as Jen Kingwell would say..she’s an Aussie..they say fabric range…like we say fabric line or collection…just thought I would educate you, when you get to take that trip down under..As you can see the colors and the prints are VERY nice! If you HAVE to have any of these prints they are all available on our site HERE…along with all the precuts!!!Also…here are couple of quilts made with the Songbird Gatherings line…

Star Crossed which I was making when Dru, from the CA store, was visiting us here in WI. Here we are at the retreat house in our jammies!!

Dru is here fixing one of my blocks that had a slight variation than the others…Then here is a closeup of Nine Patch Melody…very simple, but very stunningAs you can see the photos on the patterns are always much brighter than in real life..

I also take in progress photos…some are so fun!!!These pinwheels are 2″ here…1 1/2″ finished in the blocks…We still have some previously offered (1-6 ) Moda designer tins available at both our stores…just visit our sites…some may even be on sale!!! Wisconsin California

Did I mention…I love my MODA sisters…Spring Market is next month and I can’t wait to hang out after all the hard work we do to get ready!!! We always have a great time, especially at the Moda party, which I call the stress relief party!

Now this was one long post…so to reward you…do you want to win a tin? I’m sure Moda sent me something to give away and I’ll sweeten it up a bit too!!! Share with me what YOU think I should design next for a fabric line? colors, theme or whatever!!!…I’m thinking this will be fun to read and see if we think the same!!! Now keep in mind…I have some already in the works, so it really won’t be the next…but future…I will also do a give-away on Instagram this weekend too and another post about…something Frivolous I do!

Well the fun must come to an end and I must pack for MI…you will read this while I’m already there…all for now…LB

Hey Lisa – thanks for asking, would so love to see something bright ‘n bouncy (yellows, florals, and stripes)…was recently in Amsterdam @ Petra Pins shop and was inspired at how different their aesthetic is…would be to pull some of that into your great designs! Take Care –

I love the Frivols. In response to your request for ideas for a fabric line…..I think about your lake house and the anchor that sits in the cove. I think about designs that would incorporate the beauty of all that and colors that you see when the sun comes up or sets on the water.

I was thinking about greens, maybe with yellows, and first thought, Grandma’s Gatherings, since you are so smitten with your little buddy! Greens and yellows instead of pink and blue, would cover everyone’s needs! I was also thinking about children …Storytime Gatherings?

How about something in red and apple green for Christmas? I like your fabric range and collections. I noticed that you used pure white as a background on some of your new quilts. I like it-it’s a different look.

I always love the reds and pinks that you have in your wools. The wool you used in Penny Garden is just luscious and so would fabric. Although, I always love anything you design! Can’t wait to see what it is.

What a beautiful line or range😂
What about a gathering of friends in shades of blues! Maybe little words to represent our quilting friends? Just my silly thoughts, but it does make me smile. Or friendship gatherings. I so enjoy hearing about all that you do!

Hi, Lisa! You are one amazing woman! I get tired just reading what you’re doing! Since family is so important to you (and all of us), how about Family Gatherings? I like the play on words, and you could feature little children, game pieces, puzzle pieces, candy, or things that remind you of family and a house or two to celebrate your lovely home…and an anchor!

Love your little Frivols quilt!!!
I agree with a Children’s line. I would be excited to see what you would design .
I love blues and reds.
I am not able to find many Turkey reds and poison green reproduction fabrics. Would like to have these available.
Looks like you and Drew had Fun!
Happy Quilting!

Hi Lisa,How do you do it? Coming up with so many ideas for fabric lines, my brain hurts coming up with an answer to your question…. 😝 Anything with cheddars or yellow, we can never find enough choices in those yummy colors! Maybe beach side gatherings with your new connection to California! I love your Frivols tin, and you’re right, who can’t always use another tin for goodies!!

We have a second home in the Hiawatha National forest in the UP of MI. I watch the colors and textures of the forest change with the seasons and often think how beautiful these colors and textures would translate into fabric lines. I think a perfect new fabric line would be Hiawatha Gatherings or Gatherings from the Hiawatha Forest. 🌲🍁🌾🍄🌿🕸🍃🐾❄️💦

Hi Lisa! Love the little quilt you designe for the Frivol tin. Since this is an election year, I’m thinking something like Heritage Gatherings or Glory Gatherings. Fall is such a beautiful time of year and colors to reflect that in a line of fabric would be beautiful.

Lisa- I love your new line! All the prints are so wonderful. I would love to see some green, deep green as well as orange and yellow. I love all of your neutrals so more with small prints is always great. I am hand quilting my quilt with some of your lovely green fabric and I am wanting more! Thanks for the chance to win one of the Frivols tins. They are amazing. K-

How about some puppy love? Puppy Love Gatherings! Aww, would be so cute. I like the Grandma Gatherings idea too…although I’m not a grandma yet. Maybe someday ♥ Are you going to be in Paducah this year? Thinking about making my hubby take me on a road trip to see you. I’ve been saving up 🙂 Loved your blog and the beautiful pics. Very cute pic of you and Dru. Made me smile. I’ve been eyeing your frivol..Would love to make a quilt out of that line for my bedroom. Curtains to match. Those colors are my favs. Take care!! xoxo

You are the best with clever names, but I would love a line with greens, yellow, and red. Red is a neutral in my life, but I once had this medium yellowish green with a tiny bit of yellow and red in the tiny print. That fabric made me so happy everytime I found a place to use it – mostly appliqué designs. It was a sad day when it was all gone – every scrap! I could see some soft greens to go with the medium yellow green. A red with a small print – maybe black. Throw in a cheddar with tine red and green. Oh my!!!

I would love to see teddy bears, kites, wagons, a town home parade, maybe a frog or two. Celebrating a family growing with little ones. Adding blue. Then the other half of the line could be dolls, a carriage or stroller, included in the parade, maybe a pin wheel or two. Adding pink. Thank you for allowing me to dream. Hope to see you soon. Hi to Nick.

I know you probably have to go with popular colors, at least to some extent, but I would love to see some dark teal fabrics, some greens that cross the line between army green and bronze, and more of your great light fabrics with tiny prints. But you know what? You always come up with great prints/fabrics on your own! Thanks for offering the giveaway.

I would love a Valentine range (see I’m learning;-) from you! Something with pink, red, a bit low volume and perhaps grey. You know not over-the-top Valentine just a few tiny hearts, little flowers, a text print … things like that. I’m sure that would be great!

I am currently in love with your latest line of manly type fabrics because I have a house full of them and it can be hard to find nice ones to work with. Something with purple in it would be fun and a favorite color of mine.

Cathy R
I would love to see a deep rich red and off white line with all the mini prints you do so well. It would look wonderful in the winter, be perfect for Christmas and of course for Valentines day and be timeless.

Would love to see a Christmas line from you, but like everyone else, anything you come up with will be a favorite. Your frivol is awesome. I definitely want to have it. Thanks for the chance to win one.

Lisa love each of these quilts and I am thinking to make one of them for my own bed in blues……..so I would like to see more blues with cream. Have a great time and I look forward to seeing what wonderful things you get for us at market

Lisa, I just continue to shake my head on “how can one woman have so much talent and energy in one vessel”…You are so many women’s role model. The Tins are gorgeous and I would be more than lucky to win, but I would be honored. As for a suggestion to a fabric line? My suggestion would be a green,,,,yes a green line of fabric. We see the blues, reds, creams, etc…..but how about huges of greens with hues of yellow,,,the world is endless. Names for the line are endless with the love of your gardening! What do you think?

I would love to see a pastel line in colors that will work back to your other lines. I see beautiful muted lighter versions of your color palette. This seems to be a theme in all the comments. We must all have spring fever! Keep up the great work,

I have no creativity when it comes to thinking up fabric lines. I leave it to the experts like you!! You do a great job and I love all your fabric lines. I’m sure that you already have some great ideas rolling around about what your next line of fabric will be!!!

How about a fabric line around lakes….beaches, boats, swimming, kids, Sandy feet, etc but in your beautiful colors? I would snap it up! Love what you design and love you Lisa. Keep sending the grandson pics….I am living vicariously!

I have a antique quilt that has been hand down to me. Not sure of the original colors but now it looks pink and grey. I love the fresh look. Prints are tiny and the grey is a shirting. Recently I needed a red homespun and could not find it anywhere in Ga. My quilt shop told me they were not making much homespun anymore. I love adding woven homespun with regular cottons in my quilts. Bring us more wovens!!! I did find my red on my trip to PG Wisconsin last month. 😃

I’m loving the songbird gatherings Lisa! The frivolous tin would be a positive addition to my collection of the fabric line I have already purchased! As far as a new line, green came to mind immediately. With red being a favorite color of mine, I’d have to add the turkey red but not necessarily Christmas! Whatever you come up with will be fantastic!

I would love to see a spring or summer line with purples and greens in it. Something that would be like walking on a flower garden path. Love all of your designs, though. Thanks for sharing a part of you with your quilter friends.

I would favor something for your Wisconsin roots…….like cheese and beer!!!! Seriously, I don’t know much about color choices for fabric but I LOVE the little figure designs. How about deer or squirrels?

I love your colors and patterns and would be in your store way too much if it were closer! It’s my dream to make it up there someday! As for a new line someday, I have been admiring g the yellow quilts with red and green in them. Somewhat similar to what you have, just a lot more yellow, a cleaner look one might say.

Lisa, I don’t think I could tell you what to design next. Love, love your work!! Was at the Lancaster quilt show & stopped by your booth. Spent a little too much money, BUT had fun doing it. Bty, your staff is always so helpful, very informative & pleasant.

I love the little tin idea. I like to buy little kits like that and take them to the cottage to work on and use them for Christmas gifts. I would like to see a fabric line from you that has to do with summer at the cottage. Like, log cabins, trees, bears, moose, fishing. I have had some fabric like that but the way you design fabric, I know it would be so much better.

Lisa, I love the Songbird line of fabrics, especially the little birds. I love these little conversation prints/shirtings, they are just so cute. And I would like to see more. What about a fall themed line (not that I want fall to arrive as I am still waiting for spring). But prints that have different leaves and/or mushrooms. Whatever you do it will be fabulous.

Thank you for offering us a “giveaway.” I like everything you do so I don’t know that I can offer much as a suggestion but maybe something with tan, cheddars, brown, little green, maybe some orange but not Halloween orange. Can’t believe I am not suggesting something with RED since that is my favorite color and you do red very well. What about something with an Americana theme…then I get my red!

Maybe because I’m a preschool teacher, I love the primary blues, reds, greens, and yellows but in primitive hues. I haven’t seen anything you design that I don’t love so you can’t go wrong in my book 😊 Thanks for a chance to win!

I love all your designs…was at your booth yesterday at the Chicago Int’l. Quilt Festival…Love, Love the new Songbird Gathering as I am a “red” fan. I love the teals and grays combinations with a dash of pinks??? Surprise us beautifully, as always!

You’ve already created so many great fabric designs. I loved the Lakeside Gatherings with the yellows and grays. I would love a new line with Aqua and gray. Thank you for all you contribute to the quilting world!

in honor of your migration to California think about doing wildflower gatherings..we have so many this year and I love the yellows and purples along with the greens..but you are so creative you probably thought about that already!

I don’t know how you keep the fun coming for us … so much inspiration to keep me in my sewing room! I’ve loved all of the Gatherings lines, but one of my favorites was an early line of all browns/neutrals (can’t remember the name of the line). I love the small prints, so since you’ve done miniature gatherings, how about another line of even smaller prints called ‘Petite Gatherings’ or ‘Minnow Gatherings’ (to go with the lakehouse) or ‘Itty-Bitty Gatherings’. I better focus on my work now! Thanks for the opportunity.

I have been drawn to newsprint fabric lately. You could use sewing words/phrases or even farmhouse words. That seems to be the in thing now. I think maybe drawing colors from your Blue Barn painting would be beautiful…teal, gray, soft black and maybe a touch for yellow/gold. Maybe even make one of your prints on a larger scale to be used as a border. Love everything you do and thanks for the awesome giveaway.

Wouldn’t it be time to have birds as a theme? In puple (like Heather), yellowish (like curry) and kind of blue (cobalt, if that’s the right name).
Beginning to like your work more and more, and more……. .
Marianne

Lisa: thinking of Teals and Taupes, (as the changing colors of the water and the warm sand) with a primitive twist. These colors could also be interchanged with the colors now at Anchor Point at some time. LOVE the Frivols tins, especially tin #7 🙂 Thank you for being an inspiration……

Hi Lisa – I am thinking that as a Canadian, I would love to see something that both our fabulous countries enjoy. So how about a line with the theme of “hockey”? I am thinking of the origins of the game, on frozen ponds in the winter bundled up in sweaters and toques, skates and hockey sticks and of course, the puck! Am loving these little tins so am really hoping!!!

Hi Lisa – I am thinking, as a Canadian, of something that binds our two countries together and that is a love of hockey! My thoughts are to the beginnings of hockey on frozen ponds, bundled up in sweaters and toques, hockey sticks, ice skates and of course, the puck! So with hopeful heart, I enter my suggestion in your fabulous contest for this cute tin!!

I think Patriotic or Americana is the way to go! Lots of cute red, white and blue, maybe some yellow and gray. All muted color of course to look old and primitive. Love your designs. Keep up the good work!

First…..I LOVE all your gatherings. You have an amazingly creative mind. What I love most about your gatherings is that the prints are small. So my suggestions is………drum roll, please……In The Country Gatherings. Little glass milk bottles, cows, clothespins, mason jars, strawberries, swings…….like that:) Thanks for asking my opinion:)

I just scrolled through the comments and there are some great suggestions….Fireside Gatherings, Harvest Gatherings, Vintage Gatherings…. love those ideas! Personally I would like to see purples and grays. I haven’t given in to the urge to buy a Frivols tin yet, but Songbird Gatherings is really tugging at me!

Lots of great ideas have been given, and I don’t think I can come up with anything any better. My favorites are the brown and pink or the idea of fabric for a kids’ line. I just know that whatever you design, we’re going to love it!

Oh my, Lisa. You always come up with such great colors and designs and themes. Each of them lovely. Can’t think of a color you’ve missed. Maybe some bright blues to celebrate the water you live by? Thanks for all your great fabric and patterns.

Lisa, I’m always a fan of your fabric and designs. Even more so now since I had the opportunity to meet you in Grand Rapids Michigan. You are as beautiful as your fabrics! Maybe your new lake house will inspire your next fabric line. The sunsets on the water would be great inspiration, but whatever you do, I’m sure it will be great! Thanks for a chance to win a Frivols tin. Regards.

I love your fabric lines!! I would like to see indigo blue and cheddar and also some deep purple. Your Frivol tin looks lies lot of fun! Thanks for a chance to win!! I enjoyed seeing you in Grand Rapids!

As I wad scrolling thru reading the comments the one suggestion that seems to make the most sense is one concerning family, family gatherings, we all know your family is number one in your book, so would it be a children’s line, a homey flannel line done in denim and grays with a splash of red and purple for color or would it be the beautiful lakeside blues with yellows and gray? I actually have been drooling over your frivol, as always thanks for being so generous and sharing your yourself with your “fans”

Lisa, first I must say I love the picture of you and Dru having a PJ party!!! As for me I think I would go a summertime gatherings… something with some plums, some smokey purples, cheddars, dark yellows, greens, etc with line drawings of some sunflowers and maybe a couple line drawings of some fish (nod to Nick’s enjoyment of fishing) as the print on some of the colors 🙂 but honestly what ever it is you design I’m sure to LOVE it (as I always do)!

Your color style may not follow this, but yellow, teal, and grey! Also, welcome to my home state of MI! Where are you going to be? I’m in western MI near Grand Rapids, but I know it isn’t me you are visiting. I will be in Illinois for a large quilt show there.

Have missed all the wonderful plaids from Moda….how about some wovens!! Would love a collection with black, red and cream prints and plaids!! Another Americana collection with plaids and prints too!! Thanks for all of your wonderful quilting inspiration!!

Being a Canadian, I would love to see a line that celebrates something that both our countries enjoy – hockey. I am thinking of the origins of the sport on frozen ponds, warm sweaters and toques, skates and hockey sticks…and of course, the puck! Would love to win this tin so i have fingers crossed! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

Hi Lisa, I want you to know that I already use so many of your fabrics for QOV quilts. I love the small designs, and the colors. I’d like to see a red, white (cream) and blue without florals for my future QOV quilts. Keep up the great work!! Thanks so much for the opportunity!!

I think your next project(s) should be a baby quilt–I have 8 grandbabies now, age 5 years and under. I’ve made a quilt for each of their births so I’ve been very busy! Would love to see what your ideas might be. LOVE all of your patterns, fabric, design ideas, & attitude about life! Thanks!

Autumn Gatherings. A range of autumn colors. Butterscotch to cheddar, pine and olive, browns and blacks. Your subdued style is so beautiful. I’m STILL collecting fabric for that gorgeous quilt you made with blacks, creams and butterscotch a few years ago. That quilt makes my heart sing. ❤

Love your Frivols tin…the quilt and fabric line are beautiful. The verse on the selvage is a delightful addition! As far as a new fabric line I would love to see the colors of the lakeside–blues, greens, tans…

Hmmmm…I am thinking a new line with some deep blues (colonial/wedgewood), with reds and cheddar/butterscotch, grays, and black. I can see it in my head, as I have memories of a quilt my grandmother had. Speaking of being a grandmother, love the pix of your little one. I have 3 grandsons so something for them would be great too! Love your songbird gatherings in the frivols!

What beautiful quilts and love your Frivols. All your lines are wonderful. Would love to see a patriotic line, maybe United Gatherings? I also love purples, pinks and browns. Oh and squirrels, hehe. Now work your magic ;-D

These little tins are so much fun. I love the new Songbird line. Quotes on selvage edges – who knew??? Love that idea. I love everything you do so I don’t have any specific suggestions for a fabric line.

Lisa, First let me say that I love Songbird gatherings! Hey, I love ANY PG collection… and I have the stash to prove it!! One of my all time favorite prints of yours is the sheep from your Old Glory Gatherings collection. I’d love to see some more farm type animals in a collection, along with some simple coordinating fabrics. Maybe chickens, ducks, more sheep, barns… maybe a farmhouse kind of collection…including crocks!! Oh how I love crocks and bowls. 😉 Anyway, whatever you come up with will be amazing, I’m sure.
Thanks for the chance to win this lovely tin! ~Heather

Hi Lisa, Thanks for another chance to share our thoughts with you. The first thing I thought of was “Forest Gatherings.” Little forest dwellers, leaves, etc. might be fun. The other thought I had was “Sun, Moon & Stars
Gatherings.” Well, gotta get back to sewing!! Thanks again, Annie

Love your frivol. After reading the other comments I’m not sure there is anything left to suggest. I have loved all your fabrics so I am sure whatever you choose to do will be great. I have enjoyed seeing your new house and how you have encorporated Lakeside Gatherings there. I do like Mary’s suggestion of Hometown Gatherings. Barn reds, creams, and blues have been my picks lately. Thanks for all you do.

I loved working on the SBOW from 2014 because it combined wool applique with a decent amount of piecing each week. I could use some practice on my small piecing (like the Frivol). I’ve realized it doesn’t have to look perfect to enjpy the end result!

Hi Lisa – I so enjoy your fabrics and living in Wisconsin, I am lucky enough to visit Neenah fairly regularly 🙂 I am going to suggest something with pinks and greys in your signature style – not too bright – just right!

Love the Frivols tins. I would love to win yours, it’s beautiful!! I’ve always loved to collect tins and decorative boxes. It’s a good way to store kits and fabric and the hubby doesn’t think you have so much when he can’t see it.
LOL. I would love an autumn line of fabric. Fall is my favorite time of year and the colors are fabulous. You are amazing and so generous. Thanks for the chance at winning. Have a great weekend. Karen M

I would love to see a line of brights that have coordinating wools to go with. When I was at the retreat house last month, I stopped in the store and a staff person and I couldn’t find light or medium blues in plaid. The gave me the idea that you should do a a line of wool brights in textured prints. So bright cottons and bright wools.

I have always been attracted to the primative look of homespun fabrics….especially in the reds, mustards and blues. Something harvest or Christmas would be beautiful…especially with applique! I love your design style…such a great talent!

I’m never disappointed by your creative spirit. On that note how about a Christmas of pine green, crimson red and cheddar and call it gathering Christmas spirits or Christmas spirits gathering. Love to win frivolous!!!!!!!!!!

Love your Frivols tin. Not surprising though, you are so good at what you do. I would love your next collection to be in grays with an accent as well, perhaps muted yellows….
Thanks for your give away!

Fran, I am unsure as to why it is out of stock, we do have them available and it will be back up and ready for you to order by this afternoon. Or you can call the Shop and we would be happy to help you with that. 920-722-7233. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend! jessica

Last Wednesday I was in town so stopped of at my favourite quilt shop and there was your `Frivols` tin #7. This had just come in. 🙂 i have yet to make your little quilt but the tin is looking pretty on the shelf till I do. Now to find suitable scissors to slide in holder. I have ordered the others to make the 12 as have 1-7 now. Thankyou for designing such contents. Happy Stitching.
